We do charge as well, but we usually subsidize costs for students/scholars. For example, the Spring Break trip to Nashville- we charged students/scholars $100 which included hotel, bus, tickets to museums (etc), and a couple of meals.

Hi Kal-
We have recently started charging for trips for this same reason. We also recently made a decision that we would not offer refunds [unless for very good reason]. We don't charge much but we do feel like these extra steps have helped. We are curious to hear from others on this topic as well.
Take care, Jessie

Hi everyone!
My name is Kal Jordan-DeBruin, and I work at Ohio State University in the Global Engagement program. I hope you're all doing well!
We are considering ways to reduce student "no-shows" at events and trips. We're mostly concerned because students are taking the chance from another student to get to go to our programs because there isn't a ticket or space for them on the bus.
What are some of the ways that y'all are working to reduce this problem?
Do any of your schools charge fees or "deposits" for students to go to your events? How does this work at your school? Do you charge students on the waitlist? Do you ask students to put down a "deposit" and then refund it if the student goes on the trip? What are the typical fees that you would charge?
Ohio State has never charged its students for trips and events arranged by Global Engagement/Office of International Affairs, so at this moment, we're just collecting information on how this could look at our university.
Thank you in advance for any insight or feedback you may have!
Best, Kal Jordan-DeBruin
